WorldPride is in Washington, D.C., this year. The Trump administration is prompting fears, mixed emotions.
What we know about canceled LGBTQ events at the Kennedy Center This year, WorldPride is coming to Washington, D.C. A series of events, organized by the nonprofit InterPride, aims to bring visibility and awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer issues to an international stage. This year's location is leaving the community conflicted about showing up to the nation's capital amid an administration that has targeted them. Zoe Stoller, a licensed social worker based in Philadelphia, said they're excited to be amongst the queer and trans community at WorldPride, but told CBS News the Trump administration has "definitely been on my mind." "D.C. is not necessarily a place that many people would think of as super safe and comfortable right now, given the current administration and their attacks on the LGBTQ community, especially trans people, especially trans youth," they said. Meg Ten Eyck, founder and CEO of travel platform EveryQueer and vice chairman of the board of directors for the International LGBTQ Travel Association, has been to dozens of Pride events across the world, from the miles-long parade at New York City's WorldPride to a Pride in Kyiv, Ukraine in 2015 that was targeted with Molotov cocktails amid protests. "What is happening socially and politically changes the feeling of the Pride that you are attending," she said, adding she anticipates WorldPride this year is going to bring "an astronomical amount of fear and sadness from people" as well as some potential violence. "I think the community is terrified, and I think our instinct as humans is to want structure and to want answers," she said. "There will be a lot of people who are drawn to this particular pride as a giant 'F*** you' to the administration, and there will be a lot of people who are incentivized into negative behaviors that may not necessarily be characteristic of who they are because of that fear and misinformation and general dissatisfaction with human rights violations that are happening in a lot of different ways." New York City's annual Pride March commemorates the 1969 uprising by members of the LGBTQ community at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. Bing Guan/Bloomberg via Getty Images Comments across social media have also highlighted the mixed emotions. In a video about WorldPride posted to TikTok earlier this month, a top comment with more than 2,000 likes says: "Being real... I'm not going this year. I'm scared." Another reads: "Couldn't pay me enough to attend a mass gathering like this in this political climate." But others had a different take, including this commenter who wrote: "Don't let them make us scared we deserve happiness too." While some may choose to skip this year's events due to safety concerns, Stoller predicts their absence will be filled with others eager to take a stand. "Folks who may not have attended in the past, might not have felt motivated to show up, to protest, to be in this current political climate and make their voices heard — those folks might come out of the woodworks," they said. For those with layered identities, navigating Pride this year is even more complex. David D. Marshall, founder and CEO of Journey to Josiah Inc., a Baltimore-based adoption nonprofit, said the feeling of a "robust need to fight" is met with the reality that, for people of color, showing up is a "a whole different experience" to White LGBTQ people. "There is a fear in general when it comes to black people, because there is a direct target put on our backs when it comes to any sort of protest," he said, adding "it's a time for people of different privilege, or allies, to show up." And for others, more pressing matters are taking precedence over the problems posed by Pride. "When we're thinking about the grand scheme of things, (Pride) just hasn't been on the list," Marshall admitted, adding his own organization is grappling with federal funding cuts and those in his circles are "fighting to maintain our own livelihoods" amid the dismantling of DEI – diversity, equity and inclusion – roles. "The option to fold is not there, because the work still needs to be done. The need has not gone anywhere but there are now some additional barriers," he said. Why is WorldPride in D.C.? While the Trump administration has rolled back several protections for LGBTQ people, especially for trans individuals, WorldPride locations are bid on years in advance, meaning the nation's capital was decided before President Trump was re-elected. "No one could have anticipated what was going to happen," Ten Eyck said, adding there are fears around what the administration may do if there are protests on federal land, since it would be their jurisdiction. "(For some people), federal charges result in you losing your career and your income and your stability." But there's an important distinction between who's in office and who makes up the city, she added. "Yeah, (Mr.) Trump has the White House and sort of lives in D.C., but the District of Columbia goes deeply democratic in every single election, regardless of who's in the federal administration. So, having and hosting a large global pride celebration is aligned with the citizens of D.C.'s politic and will, but it is not aligned with the federal government stance." Members and allies of the LGBTQ community cheer on a Pride car parade as it leaves from Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC. Drew Angerer / Getty Images Stoller, who has more than 50,000 Instagram followers, has seen this contrast causing discussions among their online community as well, with many questioning whether it's safe or appropriate to attend. "D.C. still can be a very safe, open, accepting place. But of course, the people who are in charge, who now are living in D.C. definitely affect the vibes and feelings of that," they said. The Trump administration has already made itself known ahead of the celebration. Last month, several Pride events at the Kennedy Center were canceled or relocated as the institution pivots under President Trump's leadership. June Crenshaw, deputy director of nonprofit organization Capital Pride Alliance that is helping host to WorldPride, said the organization is finding other paths for the celebration, but added, "the fact we have to maneuver in this way is disappointing." According to the WorldPride website, "top-to-bottom safety protocol" is in place, assuring the same level of preparation as high-security events like inaugurations. "Efforts include pre-event web-related surveillance, on-site security/police, advanced life support stations, roving medic teams, aerial surveillance and anti-scaling systems and barricades where applicable," the site notes. "The 2-day street festival will be fenced with a secure entrance. Capital Pride is augmenting DC's efforts with additional private security." How to celebrate Pride outside of Washington, D.C. If unsure about attending WorldPride this year, Stroller encourages people to prioritize their emotional and physical safety above all else. "If you are feeling worried for your safety, for your emotions, for your well-being, listen to your gut," they said. People march during the Pride Parade in Boston, Massachusetts. JOSEPH PREZIOSO/AFP via Getty Images Black LGBTQ people are also having to figure out another approach "that may not necessarily be showing up in these very public spaces," Marshall added. "Does that mean that one group has decided not to fight? No, it's a matter of how. What is going to be the thing that is not going to cost us our lives?" he said. Ten Eyck adds there are plenty of ways to "show up" for the community without being in Washington physically, including supporting your local Pride party or LGBT center as well as "putting your money where your morals are." "If you're a federal employee who can fight from the inside, if you're a teacher who can fight from the inside, if you're a public health professional who can fight from the inside, we need you more in those roles than we need you on the National Mall," she said.

Lutnick: ‘Rest assured, tariffs are not going away'
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Sunday was adamant that the Trump administration's aggressive use of tariffs was not going away in the aftermath of court rulings that blocked sweeping duties on imports. Lutnick appeared on 'Fox News Sunday' days after the U.S. Court of International Trade and a separate ruling by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., blocked tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. 'What's going to happen is we're going to take that up to higher courts. The president's going to win like he always does,' Lutnick said. 'Rest assured, tariffs are not going away,' he continued. 'He has so many other authorities that even in the weird and unusual circumstance where this was taken away, we just bring on another or another or another. Congress has given this authority to the president, and he's going to use it.' A federal appeals court last week lifted a ruling against Trump from the Court of International Trade, though a second federal ruling blocking the tariffs remained in place. The administration has attacked the judges in the wake of the rulings and argued Trump is on firm legal footing. Those rulings apply to the broad 'reciprocal' tariffs Trump imposed in early April, which included a baseline 10 percent duty on imports and higher rates on dozens of countries. Those higher rates have since been lowered to 10 percent until early July to allow for negotiations. They also apply to tariffs Trump imposed on China, Mexico and Canada as part of his effort to crack down on fentanyl being brought into the country. The rulings do not apply to sector-based tariffs Trump has imposed under a different authority. The president has levied tariffs on automobile imports and steel and aluminum imports. Trump on Friday announced he was doubling steel and aluminum tariffs from 25 percent to 50 percent.

Who stays, who goes for the Ducks this summer? What will Quenneville mean for Zegras' future?
Joel Quenneville knows he is walking into a promising situation with the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks restarted Quenneville's NHL coaching career following a lengthy league ban for his role in the Chicago Blackhawks sexual assault scandal. It seemed inevitable that Quenneville would return once the league said he could. Anaheim, armed with ample salary-cap space, an array of young talent with high upside and a goal to spend money and be serious contenders for their first playoff berth in what will become eight years, was an attractive opening for prospective head coaches. Advertisement 'This is the only team that was appealing at that level, but it's amazing how many people were saying, 'This is the place to go,'' Quenneville said. 'And now that I'm here, it feels even better.' More than three months remain until Quenneville laces up his skates and runs his first Ducks practice. The roster is bound to look different from how it ended the 2024-25 season. Who is a lock to stay with the club and who could be headed out as the offseason continues to play out? Coming off his first 20-goal year, in which he pushed his points average up from 0.53 as a rookie to 0.59, Carlsson played a big role for Sweden at the World Championships. He had 10 points in 10 games, including a two-goal effort in the quarterfinals against Czechia and a two-assist game in the bronze medal win over Denmark. And with 29 points in his last 31 Ducks games, he's looking like a No. 1 center moving into his age-21 season. Thirteen goals over his last 33 games put him on a 32-goal pace. Gauthier started his rookie season by moving up and down the lineup, but eventually started to look like the top-six finisher he's been projected to become. Chemistry with Carlsson began to emerge. Over the last three weeks, he teamed with Carlsson on seven goals — five of which were his. And like Carlsson, Gauthier is still on an entry-level contract that ends next season. Dostal, 24, is due a big raise as an arbitration-eligible restricted free agent after finishing a cheap two-year extension in which he more than proved himself as a capable NHL starting goalie. He made a career-high 49 starts and, on many nights, he looked like a high-level No. 1, as he was required to make 40 or more saves five times. His second half wasn't as efficient and he displayed a nagging habit of allowing multiple first-period goals, but he's become The Guy in net. Advertisement Killorn, 35, played in all 82 games last season. He's come up shy of the 20-goal mark in Anaheim, which he reached three times during a long run with Tampa Bay, and there's been grousing over him having a top-line role at times because he isn't a top offensive threat. But the fact is, he's a good complementary player who brings a defensive conscience to a line and, more importantly, he's still on a pricey contract that runs through 2027. LaCombe was the breakout story for the Ducks last season. The 24-year-old defender took a significant leap in all areas, showing himself to be their top offensive threat from the blue line while also improving defensively. He's become their No. 1 on the back end. He can improve in quarterbacking their currently woeful power play. If he does that, LaCombe will be in line for a gigantic raise in 2026 and will move into untouchable status. McTavish, 22, is another of the young Ducks who needed to move forward in 2024-25. It didn't look that way for the first half of the season, but he finished with a flourish by posting 16 goals and 33 points in his final 36 games. He and Cronin didn't always see eye to eye, so it will be interesting to see how he works with Quenneville. There's been talk of him being an offer-sheet candidate, but the Ducks can easily match something that doesn't throw off their future salary scale. Terry, 27, will put up 20 to 25 goals and 55 to 60 points. Solid numbers, but not star numbers. Is he an untouchable? No. Can that production be replaced? Probably. But he's locked into a seven-year contract with a 10-team no-trade clause that kicks in July 1. What he provides is stability and cost certainty. The Ducks would like more production, but his $7 million salary amid a rising salary cap is about what a proven second-line winger will cost. The 21 goals and 45 points that Vatrano put up last season are more in line with his career numbers than his 37-goal, 60-point glow-up of 2023-24. Perhaps that regression was expected, but he's still providing solid middle-six scoring while adding in dashes of truculence. Vatrano starts his new three-year contract next season. Harkins, 28, is signed through this next season and he provides what every organization needs: an NHL-minimum depth player who can step in at a moment's notice to fill a hole, be a leading player for a team's AHL affiliate and accept playing different roles. An energy forward, Harkins can skate, and that makes him useful. Advertisement The 2024-25 season was a step back for Mintyukov. His ice time went down from his rookie year — particularly on the power play — and he was scratched at times. Part of that was attributable to LaCombe's meteoric ascent and part of it was Mintyukov being stuck in a logjam on the left side of the defense. Mintyukov is still on his entry-level deal and there's a lot of talent there for the new coaching staff to tap into. In addition to the statistical oddity of recording 41 points in each of his three Anaheim seasons, Strome has fallen into the habit of having solid starts to his seasons before fading in the second half. He had just five points in his last 22 games, including zero goals. What is interesting is that he doesn't have a trade clause as he enters the fourth year of a five-year deal. But his $5 million cap number presents some sticker shock. Trouba, 31, isn't going anywhere … for now. The Ducks wanted a tougher defensive presence on the blue line. The results weren't good, as his advanced metrics worsened nearly across the board in his 53 games after being acquired from the New York Rangers. But it's hard to see him and his salary ($8 million cap hit, but $6 million in real money) being moved right away. The trade deadline, however, could be a different story. Colangelo, 23, has shown a lot of improvement over the last two seasons after he seemed to stagnate at Northeastern. His transfer to Western Michigan was what he needed, and his stock continued to rise last year as a scorer in the AHL, and his touch around the net translated to Anaheim. Being able to screen goalies and successfully tip pucks is a skill few other Ducks have. He can still improve his skating. The Ducks had to feel good about getting Moore signed after he completed his fourth season at Harvard. It never hurts to have another right-shot defender in the system and the 23-year-old showed in his first three NHL games that he can play with poise, execute a first pass and get pucks to the net. It's likely that he's bound for more AHL seasoning, but he could work his way into first-call-up status. Washe played his first two games with Anaheim right after captaining Western Michigan to an NCAA title and signing his pro contract. It was seen as a bit of a coup for the Ducks, as the 23-year-old Washe was one of the top college free agents. The sample size is minuscule, but Washe had excellent play-driving metrics in his limited ice time. He's got size and faceoff acumen, and it looks like he could compete for the 4C position. Gudas, 34, has had two uneven seasons in Anaheim. He's delivered solid play for stretches of time. He's also been exposed at times, particularly in man-on-man situations, and his level of play falls off. Overall, Gudas remains a capable defender on the back end but probably would help the Ducks most in a third-pairing role. Anaheim's captain now enters a walk year. He could be trade bait if the Ducks don't move into playoff contention. Advertisement At the beginning of last season, Helleson appeared to be a call-up option, but not a lot more than that on a crowded Anaheim blue line. The Ducks ultimately needed more lefty-righty balance, and Helleson, the 24-year-old right-shot, took advantage in establishing himself as an everyday option. But with Gudas and Jacob Trouba still patrolling that side, along with Tristan Luneau pushing for a spot, Helleson must not take his situation for granted. What are the odds that Gibson starts his 13th NHL season with the only club he's played for? It's hard to say, but the conditions for a long-speculated trade might be better than ever. The injury bug that plagued him in his early seasons bit him again late last season, but the 31-year-old put up his best numbers in years, and his contract ($6.4 million cap hit) is now down to two years left in a rising-cap landscape. Johnston, 31, is heading into the final season of a contract the Ducks inherited when they claimed the forward off waivers from the New York Islanders. The $1.1 million owed to him is something Anaheim can easily work with, and he's the only 'enforcer' type on the club, but is that something Quenneville will want as part of his roster makeup? It was a grin-and-bear-it season for Zellweger, 21. On one hand, he played in more NHL games (62) than ever in his young career and chipped in seven goals and 20 points from the blue line. His skating and vision are assets. On the other hand, he was often scratched, and the defense mix now (and in the near future) remains crowded. It won't be completely shocking if he becomes a trade chip for a proven scoring forward. Trevor Zegras A longtime candidate to be traded, Zegras is at a crossroads in his Ducks career. The last two seasons have been filled with injuries and extended absences. It has affected his potential production — he totaled only 18 goals and 47 points in 88 games during that span. Zegras's offensive numbers have cratered, though he's worked to become a more responsible defender. But the change to Quenneville, who coached a superstar in Patrick Kane, might be what Zegras needs to mutate into an elite playmaking winger. Fabbri's season ended on Feb. 25, when he suffered his second significant injury. The thought was that he'd be a third-line presence who could forecheck and chip in some secondary offense, but the oft-injured 29-year-old either wasn't in the lineup enough (just 44 games) or didn't deliver that depth scoring to offset some rough defensive metrics. He's a UFA. Husso, 30, made three starts with the Ducks when Gibson dealt with a late-season injury. He performed well, stopping 114 of 122 shots for a .934 save percentage. After his pickup from Detroit on Feb. 24, the Finn stabilized the goaltending for the AHL's San Diego Gulls. There is reason to offer him a contract at a much lower price point. Both sides could also look for other options. Advertisement The quiet 25-year-old made his name with the Ducks through responsible, defense-first play, but even that took a hit this season as he leaked many more chances at five-on-five than he created. His goal differential was decidedly in the negative, and he has yet to exceed 50 percent at the faceoff dot or effectively drive possession. It doesn't add up to a new contract. Kylington was a deadline addition for the Ducks, who essentially got the 28-year-old defenseman for nothing (often it's some form of deferred asset compensation). He played six games with Anaheim, recorded one assist and had passable metrics. It's possible the Ducks could re-sign him on a cheap deal for depth, but they could just as easily move on. Leason, 26, is an arb-eligible RFA who didn't keep a spot in Cronin's lineup because of inconsistent play. He's a good skater for his size, but he didn't use his 6-foot-5 frame to his advantage enough. It feels like his spot could be freed up for an upgrade or a hungry prospect. Injuries wrecked McGinn through much of his two-plus seasons with Anaheim. A torn ACL ended his 2024-25 in December. The 31-year-old free agent was effective in a bottom-six role at the time of his injury, but he suited up in only 65 games total with Anaheim. (Photo of Trevor Zegras: Maddie Meyer / Getty Images)
